Chairperson's editorial
Dear PCNE members,
We are currently engaged in preparing the next PCNE Working Symposium, “Enhancing Outcomes Through Pharmaceutical Care Research.”
The preliminary plan of the 10th Working Symposium includes a pre-symposium on Tuesday, February 17th, which starts with a morning brainstorming meeting with invited members on the future of PCNE followed by expert courses in the afternoon. The GA will be on the same day at 18:00 in a hybrid format.
On Wednesday, February 18th, the Symposium starts with an opening session, followed by a keynote lecture, a poster session, an oral communication session, and two series of workshops. In the evening, we plan a networking (social) event together with the ESCP Spring Workshop participants. The ESCP Spring Workshop starts immediately after the PCNE Symposium.
The preliminary program and some basic information on the 10 PCNE Working Symposium are available on the PCNE website.
We invite all PCNE members to consider our short survey regarding the Medication Review working group activities and the open calls for workshops and expert course proposal submissions.
Ivana Tadić, PCNE Chairperson

Short survey on the future of the working group Medication Review
Preliminary remark: PCNE working groups are established for the purpose of pharmaceutical care innovation, development and research, and other project initiatives.
But in the last years, the working group Medication Review had no meeting or workshop and the question was raised on the future. In an ad-hoc meeting during the Working Conference in Innsbruck 2025 a reactivation was discussed with the idea to ask the PCNE members.
Please fill in our short questionnaire (only 4 questions!).

Your contribution is decisive for the future of the PCNE MR working group. (Deadline is 30th April 1025)
Thanks for your contribution
